Another update...
Burnie has now managed to mount dot and has done the business with her and she let him, but then squealed after, we could smell his boar glue across the room lol. He has gone off very very happy sitting on his house roof now and dot has perked up too.

Aw, Christmas presents all round then 🤢🙀🤢
 
Burnie has grown to white lines down his chin that start from his bottom lip, looks like hes goofy. Scared me when i noticed.
 
So glad they are properly "married" :) wait 24 hours though and she'll forget all the romance and it'll be back to proper normal married life for poor Burnie! I reckon the husboars think its worth it for a magical 24 hours every 16 days or so :)
 
I decided when i get another boar in the future I'm going to name him ebeneza👍 bah humbug

Blodwen is fine thanks, strutting her little lilac bottom about the place :) she's good friends with everypig except Mad Piggle who doesnt really have many friends on account of being a psycho pig... I did catch Piggle licking Blodwen's ears though so she likes her really!
 
Dot and Bernie have settled in the inlaws house perfectly, the years before, Dot wouldnt come out for a few days. Now she has Bernie she is full of confidence. Its his first christmas and first time living in a new environment. Well done Bern Bern 👍 looking after dot 👏
 
Dot and bernie are just hiding away at the inlaws house. At first i thought it was going well. Should i be worried? They are nibbling hay from inside the carrot cottage and the whole floor is layered with hay.

If they are hiding away together, with hay and entertainment, and its not putting a strain on their relationship, they are probably fine. I wish I had a carrot cottage to hide in when I see my in-laws lol :)

Not together, hiding seperate. They never hide together anyway, their relationship seems fine, wasnt close anyway lol. Just worried about the eating but hopefully will settle
 
Naughty piggy slave! My piggies have had veg twice already... my poor old mum slept in until 12 so our Christmas is missing the guest of honour... she gets a bit muddled and cancelled her care nurses so nobody woke her up this morning and she couldnt remember what day it was... she's still talking about going to the post office... sigh...
 
I have just found Bernie laying fast asleep out in the open and Dot fast asleep with her head on its side with her cheek mushed up in the hay, and just had that feeling of how much i love having guinea pigs☺. Bit of a mushy post but they really do make you fall in love with them. They arnt just animals that want feeding.
 
Aw, they sound relaxed and settled to me. Gorgeous photos of lazy piggies x Bill and Ted were a little quiet for a day or two hiding under their fleece hides in the playpen at my relatives but soon came round after a bunch of parsley and a few Sprout leaves on Christmas Day then they were the center of attention and were in competition for who got the most cuddles and kisses 😘

The floor time was a bit of a fail for Bernie, he hasnt been himself since he came back from the inlaws where he settled nicely. Now me and the wife have moved back with them, i think they have both caught on to our going back to work mopey mood.

Bernie has lost confidence, i noticed the same thing when i had my dog still. If i was down or crying when i was younger he would come over and lick my face and settle with me. Must both sense emotions
